Read This First Before You

Proceed!
The Compiled UPCAT Questions is a collection of UPCAT review questions put
together by former UP Proctors and Examiners throughout the years.
It is by no means a leakage its just a compilation based on the feedbacks of students
about the test. There is no guarantee that the same questions will appear in the next
UPCAT. However, studying these questions will give you an idea of what the UPCAT
contains and how to go about it.

So why are we giving this for free?

Ill cut the chase and get straight to the point. By giving you the Compiled UPCAT
Questions for free, you will know that we are providing you quality materials that you
can use right away.
We want you to trust us.
We want to build a relationship with you. And through our materials and review
program, we want you to pass UPCAT and other college entrance tests. Thats why we
want you to enroll in the Review Masters UPCAT Review Program. We believe that
through the complete UPCAT review program, you can be more prepared to take the
UPCAT and other entrance exams.
In addition to this, we want you to have an idea of what questions and topics to expect
when you take the UPCAT. Its better to be prepared than to be caught off-guard.
Hundreds and hundreds of students have already passed UP by using the Review
Masters website (www.upcatreview.com) and materials (in fact, this year alone, we
have about 700 passers, 4 are Oblation Scholars and 12 are INTARMED Qualifiers).
Now your time has come to be one of them.

How to use this material

What I suggest is that you print this compiled UPCAT Questions and then answer it as
if you are taking the exam. Give yourself about 1 hours for the test. Then check your
answers using the Online Review Portal. Use the following account details:
Username: free
Password: free
Youll have to answer the questions again before the answer key is revealed.
By doing this, you have covered several important points when doing your review:
Speed and Accuracy, Time Keeping, and Mastery of the Subject Matter.

But the most important thing that you really need

Reviewing for the test is just one of the factors so you can pass the UPCAT. But I
believe that the most essential factor that you need in order to pass UP is your strong
DaD DESIRE and DETERMINATION. No amount of review can help you if you
do not want to pass and you are not determined to do everything to succeed.
So do everything to prepare yourself for UPCAT. Enroll in our review program. We at
Review Masters are here to help you Pass UPCAT the Sure Way!
All for the best!
